Have you been running yourself ragged lately? With tax time passed and the year speeding along you may feel like you need a bit of balance back in your life. If so, you are not alone. People who push themselves to get a never ending list of to do's done without a single hour left for doing "nothing" often find themselves in debt and out of balance.
The power behind one's financial success or struggle can be glimpsed in the management of our priorities on a daily basis. If we feel as if we are starting off the day, behind the eight ball, and running on empty from the prior day's hustle, then it is unlikely we'll feel like we have anything left to give - let alone anything left to save.
While it may not be easy the simple answer is that the only way to stop the merry-go-round of scrimp and spend is just to STOP. Stop saying yes, when you should say no, stop spending to feel like you can -instead of planning to spend what you want when you can, stop ignoring the 10% savings rule - instead remind yourself regularly 10% of ALL YOU EARN IS YOURS TO KEEP!
A key that is revealed in the great book, The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Claton. In one pivotal chapter the reader is reminded to create a plan for getting out of debt and stick to it. I like to help my clients take a new view of financial success and put themselves in the driver seat - I have them STOP, reevaluate their needs, prioritize their goals, plan their budget and save for their future.
